Fishman Classic Series Banjo Pickup, PROREPBAN
Fishman Classic Series Banjo Pickup
Our second-generation banjo pickup features a quiet humbucking coil, a powerful neodymium magnet assembly, and a specially designed preamp to strengthen and preserve the natural sound of the banjo. This pickup fits dual coordinator rod instruments and may be modified to fit single-rod banjos.
Over 30 years ago Larry Fishman was looking for a performance solution for his own upright bass. His need for pure, quality sound eventually became the BP-100, our first product — still in production today. Finding those types of solutions and making them available to players around the world has been the backbone of Fishman ever since.
The Fishman Classic Series represents a broad array of pickup styles for mandolins, banjos, resonators, violins, and more.
Features & Info:
- Features a quiet humbucking coil and a powerful neodymium magnet assembly
- Specially designed preamp to strengthen and preserve the natural sound of the banjo
- Fits dual-coordinator rod instruments and may be modified to fit single-rod banjos
- Professional installation is recommended

I have a couple of violins that dont have a pickup. This is an easy way to play amplified without making any modifications to the instrument. Id prefer a 1/4 inch jack, but I’m making this work.
Excellent. Installed into a favourite acoustic guitar for some upcoming shows this is a fabulous pickup system utilising a very slim pick up in the sound hole that doesn’t compromise the acoustic properties of the guitar and a microphone in the body. You can blend these together to tweak your sound. The sound quality is far superior to a Piezo system, which I personally dislike for its toppy unnatural sound. There are cheaper pickups on the market but this is really worth installing. I read someone here complaining about the volume output. That is nonsense it works great directly inputted into an amp or PA and if you want a bit more control use a floor standing preamp. Great product!
p.s. don’t ask me about fitting, I got someone else to do that!
Purchased this a while back. Installed it in a high end vintage guitar. Works perfectly with a great dynamic response. Can’t wait to get back out gigging with it again.
My Yamaha acoustic guitar (FS72OS) is certainly not top of the range, and I wanted a pick up to enrich its sound and give more volume and projection. I like physically playing the guitar, and especially like the feel of its neck, but its sound really does need augmenting – especially when playing live. The Fishman PRO-REP-103 Rare Earth Blend Pickup gave me exactly what I wanted, and a bit more. Okay, so it can’t magically make an inexpensive guitar sound like a top-notch instrument, but it certainly makes an inexpensive guitar sound absolutely fine – especially in a live performance situation.
Installed this in a OO build. It works well, and has a pleasing natural sound.
I was concerned about mounting it in a smaller bodied acoustic. Buy no worries, all is good.

I always use Fishman rare earth.They give the true sound of the wood
Klingt relative natrlich und lsst sich sehr flexibel einsetzen, einfach anzubringen.
It’s pretty good for what it is. It is NOT a most accurate reproduction of your acoustic. It is more like “converting your acoustic into an electric.” It has warm tone, but it’s not necessarily accurate to the acoustic. You can use the Microphone to get a more realistic sound on the highs, but the lows will be thin. You can use the pickup to get better tone on the lows, but the highs will sound absolutely like an electric guitar not an acoustic guitar. Actually even the lows don’t sound realistic, but they are warm. Best of all is to blend the mic & the pickup, I just keep it smack in the middle most of the time, and fiddled with a few different positions of the mic to get accurate sound without feedback. Basically if you put the mic closer to the strings it sounds more real but you get more feedback.
There’s a couple of things I don’t really like:
#1: Changing the battery is pretty awkward, you basically have to totally uninstall the unit to change them, and they are a weird size. It’s like 3 watch batteries. Why not just put in a AAA? There was enough room for that.
#2: The cord that connects the pickup to the Jack is pretty flimsy, very skinny and not well-shielded or strong. I have a Dean Markley single-coil acoustic pickup and on that thing the cord is literally twice the thickness.
#3: The end of the cord is really awkward, it’s attached to a female jack so you can “permanently install it” I personally would have prefered a male so I can just plug it in but this is minor
#4: It’s pretty annoying that you have to unplug the guitar every time you use it or else you will quickly burn out the battery and have to uninstall it again to change those weird batteries. You see the circuit is active when it is plugged in. I think a little “on/off” switch for $300 would have been nice and convenient, so I don’t have to fumble with the wires constantly and I don’t have to worry about running out of battery. Supposedly those batteries only last 100 hours. Well, that’s about 5 days if you accidentally leave it plugged in.
#5: requires a small screwdriver to install. Not a huge deal, but it’s annoying. You can’t just pop it in and pop it out like you can with the Dean Markely. And since you need to change batteries, you WILL be installing & uninstalling frequently.
I won’t be returning it, but starting to consider just using the Dean Markely again. The sound wasn’t THAT much better with the Fishman, and the Dean Markely installs & uninstalls without any tools, and doesn’t have a battery.

Took 5 minutes to setup. Plays great. Wanted to play my acoustic through speaker and also right into my computer for recording. Did exactly what it was supposed to.

Bought this to use on a 60’s 12 string Framus acoustic that I repaired and refurbished. Works great and much better sound than I expected. Decided to try it on my 2015 Taylor 616CE and WOW!!!!!. Sound is superior to the mic
pickups standard on the Taylor. While their system is good, the Fishman gives a much clearer and improved
voice. WELL WORTH THE MONEY

I was blown away by the reproduction of the natural tone of my guitar the moment I plugged it in. And the fact that if I wanted to I could dial in “all humbucker” is great too, if I feel like sounding like old Dave Matthews.
Very, very happy with this purchase.

Hey banjo players! Dont waste your time with these reveiws – they’re mostly irrelevant to the banjo pickup – Bad Amazon! They are mostly for guitar or something else!
These humbucking pickups are good, but expensive, and if you shop around can be cheaper elsewhere! Make sure before you buy that the box contains a small metal foil strip, essential, for fixing to the inside of the head (the banjo head! Silly!) to pickup the heads resonance – get a banjo friendly tech or luthier or even your local banjo specialist (if you’ve got one) to fit it. The pickup can be mounted on most banjos that have an internal rod or rail (or two, is easier) if you’ve no rods inside, speak nicely to your tech!
The Fishman pickup is magnetic and only works well with metal ie steel or steel-cored string but it does make your banjo sound like a…..well…. a banjo!

The sound is wonderful. The pickup cuts out most fret noise while delivering clear, full, rich sound. If I want to hear more string noise or if I want to play some percussion on the guitar, I mix in the mic.

This pickup allows you to blend the tone from the mini-humbucker pickup with the directional condenser mic to achieve the most natural tone possible. I cannot imagine getting a more natural amplified sound of an acoustic guitar without investing significantly more time and money in pickups that require permanent modification (i.e. under-saddle pickups) to my instrument.
Beyond outstanding acoustic performance, the Fishman offers TWO distinct advantages to other pickups:
1. Non-permanent installation enables you to switch it between multiple instruments. I actually purchased additional end-pin jacks and wired a permanent pigtail with mini-xlr connectors into each of my guitars.
2. The pickup will output blended sound when a mono plug is inserted into the endpin jack, but when a TRS (stereo) plug is inserted, it outputs discrete signals from each pickup to separate channels!

I put this in my Martin OMC-16. This is the closest amplified replication of the true sound of my guitar I have ever had! It’s a great pickup that sounds so much better than the under-saddle that was removed. No feedback now! Great product for the price!!!

Facil de instalar – Ya sea que la quieras permanente o temporal no tendras problema puedes hacerlo tu mismo.
No suena metalico – Al menos para mi yo estaba en busqueda de una pastilla que pudiera replicar ese bello sonido de una guitarra acustica sin sonar metalico y molesto para los oidos de todos. Y esto es gracias al microfono integrado que le ayuda a tomar el cuerpo de la guitarra, por lo cual mientras tu guitarra sea de mejor calidad, mejor va a sonar.
Regulador de sonido – tiene una perilla que al girar (izquierda, centro, derecha) puedes decidir si quieres solo sonido de la pastilla o solo microfono o 50/50.
La vdd 50/50 es la mejor opcin incluso hace un clic cuando ya estas a la mitad.
Ademas cuenta con un interruptor para si quieres Mas o Menos bajos del microfono. (esta opcion la vas a notar cuando grabes en tu DAW y sera de mucha ayuda)
El sonido al grabar es muy limpio – A menos que le grites directamente a la guitarra el microfono no captara el sonido del ambiente.
No feedback – Eso sin duda es lo que mas aprecio de esta pastilla, no tiene ese molesto ruido por acercarte mucho o esa estatica que te hace sentir tan chafa no estan presentes, esto no suena hasta que tocas, fin!
Contras :
No le doy las 5 estrellas por estas razones.
1.- Usa pilas de tamagochi (osease no imposibles de conseguir pero molesto de buscar) una simple pila AAA habria sido suficiente y genial pues compras recargables y listo.
2.- Creo que $3000 pesos es un precio mas considerado y justo.
3.- El boquete que le tienes que hacer para instalacin permanente es inmenso, si tuviera la guitarra martin que quiero ni de chiste se lo hara. No se nota para nada ya terminada la instalacin pero si duele el proceso pues en tu mente piensas “facil pudieron hacerlo mas pequeo”

A great fit for my OM solid spruce/rosewood guitar. Quality pick-up producing a great authentic acoustic guitar sound. One of a few elite pick ups that do a superb job.

Doesn’t sound as good as expected .Needs to be wired stereo so the Mic and magnetic pickup can use separate eq .

I’ve always just played acoustic instruments, but I’ve got a performance coming up and need to be able to amplify my banjo. I asked a professional banjo playing friend for his advice and he recommended this Fishman banjo pickup. I was hoping to be able to install it myself, but when they say they recommend professional installation, they’re not kidding – it was beyond the scope of my knowledge and the tools I have, so I had it done at a local shop. Anyway, it sounds great.

Had to purchase this pickup because my Ovation’s pickup developed problems and I needed a quick fix. It works so well, I’m not sure if I will get the original Ovation pickup fixed.

I’m really happy with the sound of this via a Fishman preamp, but not straight. The only difficulty was fitting the bridge which took a long time.
I’ve been a two pickup guy for a long time. This sounds great. I’ve got it on two of my guitars (a 6 and a 12).

I’ve been looking for an Acoustic Guitar pick up for live use for a very long long time. I’ve tried K&K, LR Baggs dual source, lyric, m1 active… and this is the closest to a Mic’d guitar sound with without feedback. Here’s the pick up in action (youtu.be/MhM7zNuSerk)

Great sounding pick up only flaw i have found is the batteries could be secured better as i had one fall out mid gig not ideal. Fallen out agai
This is a superb product – not cheap – but you pays your money and reap the rewards.
Really like the sound i get with this pickup. It brings out the dynamics very well with my picking attack. Use it with a Martin HD28.

Brilliant, no hum (obviously) and good sound, though sound not quite as great as a single coil rare earth.
Don’t worry about the type of sound, you can always use the amp Equalizer to modify that. I put more treble for some songs and more bass for others for example, that’s not an issue.
I choose this one over the L.R Baggs just because this one has no feedback, and I prefer de Humbucker pick ups.
Really easy to install, it doesn’t bother you when playing, and ir really captures a good acoustic sound, not that electric sound most pick ups have.
This is a safe purchase.

War zuerst skeptisch aber der Fishman macht genau das was er soll. Den Klang einer Akustik Gitarre so abbilden wie sie klingt.
Lediglich das Output Level ist ein wenig schwach, aber mit DI Box ist das auch kein Problem.

othing wrong with the product,but simply did not fit my guitar so I had to return it.
Excellent pick up for acoustic guitar. Easy to fit, simple to use and produces a high quality sound. Perfect for recording and public performance. I would highly recommend this for any budding musician. Money well spent.
After experiencing a few challenges with the Piezo pickup in my Takamine G Series (a mismatch of volume on each string, sometimes the B string would be over loud, while the top E was inaudible, then after a string change the A would be too quiet and so on and so on) i decided to install the Fishman rare earth, it was dead easy to fit, is unobtrusive and sounds wonderful. The first gig with it made me aware of what had been missing in the past, i noticed a warmer tone with a more percussive attack, in fact i was listening so closely to the new and improved sound that i totally forgot all about the lyrics that i was supposed to be singing.
Top top que du bonheur sur ma Taylor big baby

seems to work well. Not as much volume as I’d like. the mic doesn’t seem stable. Had to adjust the cork pads as they were too thick causing the top string to buzz out. has a pre-amp so a plus.

I had to get rid of the adjusting screw knobs and grind down the screws to lower the bridge enough for the strings to be at the right height from the frets. You also need to cut the grooves in the bridge for the strings. Used my old bridge as a pattern.
I also had to wrap something around the patch plug to keep it from flopping around in the clip that holds it to the instrument.

The pick-up has been the best purchase I have made since buying my fiddle. A previous pick-up I had been using didn’t allow my fiddle to be distinct among the sound of other instruments in the band, but now the true sound of my fiddle can be heard clearly as we play.
Amazing pickup. Being able to blend the 2 different pickups is lovely. I have it installed on my Martin D15M. My only issue with it is that it is a little on the quiet side when plugged into my amp or sound card for direct recording which unfortunately means turning up the gain considerably and then getting a bit of a hiss.
What I got was exactly how it read- result is happy custome
